Harold C. Brooks House

The Harold C. Brooks House, also known as the Jabez S. Fitch House or the Charles T. Gorham House, is a historic home located at 310 N. Kalamazoo Avenue in Marshall, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970, with the surrounding grounds added in 1984. History Jabez S. Fitch was a wealthy Marshall dry-goods dealer. In about 1840, he constructed this house, possibly using plans from New York architect Richard Upjohn. Fitch died in 1843, and the house was sold to Charles T. Gorham in 1851. Gorham was born in Connecticut in 1812, and came to Marshall in 1836. He opened a bank in 1840 and was active in the community. He was one of the founders of the Republican Party and served as a state senator and a delegate to the Republican national convention. He was appointed minister to the Hague by Ulysses S. Grant and served there from 1870 to 1875, then served as Assistant Secretary of the Interior from 1876-1877. Gorham owned the house until his death in 1901. In 1921, prominent Midwest landscape architect Jens Jensen designed the surrounding grounds. In the mid-1930s, preservationist Harold C. Brooks purchased the house from the Gorham family to use as his own home and furnished it with antiques. The house has been frequently noted in architectural histories as one of the best-known examples of Greek Revival architecture in the Midwest. The house has undergone significant renovations over the past decade by current owners Kevin Koenig and Todd Hokanson in an effort to preserve its history as one of the nation's most notable examples of Greek Revival architecture. Description The Brooks House is a two and ½-story brick temple-style Greek Revival house sitting on a stone foundation. The cellar of this home was finished as a traditional German-style rathskeller. The windows, door sills, and lintels are made of stone. The main wing measures 51 feet long and 39 feet wide, with a service wing which is at the rear measuring 26 by 25 feet. The front portico is 10 feet deep and contains five Ionic columns. The windows in the front are ten feet high and extend to the floor. The tympanum above the door contains a fanlight with wrought iron grilles and an eagle with outstretched wings. The sidelights and transoms on the entrances are also covered with wrought iron grilles. References
John D. Dingell Park

John D. Dingell Park is located in Ecorse, Michigan along the Detroit River. Known best for its annual Fourth of July fireworks and water festival, Dingell Park also honors local residents who gave their lives in World War II. It is named in honor of Congressman John Dingell (D-Michigan), who represented this district for decades and promoted the Downriver Linked Greenways. Downriver Linked Greenways In 1999 Michigan Congressman John Dingell hosted the Downriver Summit, at which the Downriver Linked Greenways were created. The purpose of the Downriver Linked Greenways is to connect the communities and parks of the Downriver area through environmentally smart trails for bikers, hikers, and others who love the outdoors. In 2008 the Downriver Delta Greenway map was conceived by the Fort-Visger Community Development Corporation, a partner organization to the Downriver Linked Greenways. The Downriver Delta Greenway map links the cities of Detroit, Ecorse, River Rouge, and Lincoln Park, on the North-South Connector of the Downriver Linked Greenways. Dingell Park is one of the parks featured on this concept. Since Ecorse is a partner city, Dingell Park received funds for improvements in 2005. Renovations to the park included replacement of the boardwalk and adjoining sidewalk, a gazebo, and other landscaping work, at a cost of one million dollars. Life on the river John D. Dingell Park is located along the Detroit River, and is a prime spot for fishing and for launching recreation boats. Lake freighters carrying ore and grain are frequently seen on the river. Mud Island, part of the Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge, is offshore of the park; it is the site for launching fireworks during the annual 4 July festival. The festival runs for 3 days, featuring local vendors and restaurants. The Ecorse Rowing Club is located on the river and adjacent to Dingell Park. Established in 1873, seventy years before Ecorse became a city, the Rowing Club has been a staple to Dingell Park and the city for generations. References

John Glenn High School (Westland, Michigan)

John Glenn High School is a public high school in Westland, Michigan. It serves portions of Westland, Canton Township, Inkster, and Dearborn Heights. It is a part of the Wayne-Westland Community Schools district. History One of two traditional high schools serving the Wayne-Westland Community Schools, John Glenn High School is located in the city of Westland, Michigan. The school, which opened in 1964, was named for astronaut John Glenn, who just two years prior in 1962 had become the first American to orbit the Earth. The "space" theme dominates at JGHS, including the nickname ("Rockets"), yearbook (the Satellite), newspaper (the Explorer, formerly the Echo), and school store (the Gantry). When John Glenn High School opened its doors in 1964, it did not have its own football field, having to play home games on the field of rival Wayne Memorial High School for the better part of its first decade. The building was only a fraction of its current size. To keep up with expanding enrollment in the 1970s and 1980s, new wings were added for Fine Arts and Special Education, as well as a new gymnasium and its own football and baseball fields. Fitting for a school named for an astronaut, JGHS is one of the few high schools in the state to feature a planetarium. When John Glenn High School opened under principal Frank Higgins, it served students in grades 7–11, expanding to grades 8–12 from 1965 to 1967. After a brief stint as a four-year high school (9–12), it stabilized as a 10–12th grade school in 1970, finally returning to its 9–12 status in 1995 when the Wayne-Westland district adopted a middle school format. Demographics The demographic breakdown of the 1,634 students enrolled in 2021–2022 was: Native American/Alaskan – 0.5% Asian/Pacific islanders – 2.1% African American – 37.6% Hispanic/Latino – 7% White – 49.2% Multiracial – 3.4% 49% of students were economically disadvantaged during the 2021–2022 school year Athletics The John Glenn Rockets are members of the Kensington Lakes Activities Association.

John N. Bagley House

The John N. Bagley House, also known as Bagley Mansion, was built as a private residence in 1889. The mansion is located at 2921 East Jefferson Avenue in Detroit, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. As of 2022, the house is used as a commercial office building, maintaining its historic features and character. Architecture The Bagley House is a two-and-one-half-story French Renaissance Revival mansion built of red sandstone brick. Evidence has revealed that the house was designed in the French Renaissance Revival style by the Detroit firm Rogers and MacFarlane, while it was previously believed to have been designed by Shepley, Rutan, and Coolidge of the Richardson firm since the family had hired Richardson to design the Bagley Memorial Fountain. The French Renaissance Revival style house has some similar application of materials of H. H. Richardsonian Romanesque. It has a massive gable roof and a tower with conical roof. The entrance is set into a round arch and the roof dormer features a bay window. The façade contains multiple hand-carved fireplaces, original stained glass window treatments including sculptural elements by famous turn-of-the-century American sculptor Julius Melchers. Significance The house, built in 1889 for John N. Bagley, son of former Michigan governor John J. Bagley, is among the oldest surviving nineteenth-century French Renaissance Revival mansions in Detroit. The Bagley family commissioned the Bagley Memorial Fountain, designed in Romanesque Revival architecture, the only remaining work by Henry Hobson Richardson in the Detroit area. This house is still one of the finest of Detroit's Richardsonian Romanesque houses. Owners The house became a commercial building when many other mansions on Detroit's main artery, E Jefferson Ave, began to convert away from private residences. The building has been home to the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry Administrative Building and Real Estate One. The building became somewhat derelict for several decades and was purchased by Vallery Hyduk and Keasha Rigsby, owners of Beautiful Bridal, who opened a high-end bridal shop and ran an event venue in the location from 2016 - 2022. Post Covid, the owners closed the event venue and pivoted the building to the leasing of office space. References External links Bagley Mansion

Johns Hotel

The Johns Hotel (20IR64) is a complex of buildings, of which but two remain, located near Washington Harbor, on Barnum Island (originally Johns Island), Isle Royale National Park, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. History Captain John F. Johns was originally a miner; he came to Isle Royale to work the Windigo Mine, and later the Minong Mine (in 1881–1883). When the Windigo failed, Johns turned to fishing to make a living, homesteading on some of the islands of Washington Harbor, including both Johns Island and Barnum Island where the hotel is now located. In the late 19th century, there was an upsurge of interest in recreation in the Isle Royale area, leading some inhabitants to supplement their income by working as hunting or fishing guides. In 1892, Captain John F. Johns and his wife Catherine opened the Johns Hotel. The hotel was the first summer resort and first U.S. Postal Office on Isle Royale. In addition, the site served as the base for the Johns family's commercial fishing business. By 1902, there were 16 buildings on this site, including a hotel, dining room, store, barn, three fish houses, warehouse, five cottages of various sizes, root house, and two docks. Duluth, Minnesota businessman George Barnum began vacationing at the Johns Hotel in the 1890s. Enamored of the area, he bought the island from the Johns family in 1902 and renamed it Barnum Island. Barnum turned the island into a private resort, inviting his friends to build cabins on the island. The site today Two buildings, the hotel and one cottage, remain on the site; the remainder were either dismantled or burned, but some archaeological features remain. The main Johns Hotel is a 1+1⁄2-story structure built of round logs with cement chinking. It was originally a single story building; the upper portion was added later. It has six rooms and a gabled roof with vertical board gable ends, and six-light and six-over-six horizontal sliding windows. A single-story addition with shed roof is located to the rear. The cottage is a 1+1⁄2-story building built with round logs with cement chinking. It has a gabled roof with shingled gable ends, and 6-over-6 windows. In partnership with the National Park Service and surviving members of the Johns Family, a full restoration of the Johns Hotel began in 1997 and continues today. References

Calumet Colosseum

The Calumet Colosseum is an ice hockey arena in Calumet, Michigan, built in 1913. It was only a few years younger than the Matthews Arena, which opened in 1910 and then burned down in 1918. The building is a three-story, barrel roof structure. It has a seating capacity of 700. History Construction of the Colosseum began in 1913 with the formal opening on January 1, 1914. The first game was played on January 6, between the Calumet Wolverines and the Portage Lake Pioneers. Since 2011, the Colosseum has been home to the International Frisbee/USA Guts Hall of Fame. It is located in the second floor ballroom. In 1942, the National Guard armory in Calumet burned down and the Colosseum was sold to the State of Michigan. The name was changed to the Calumet Armory and it was used by the Calumet Detachment of the Michigan National Guard. Artificial ice was installed in 1968. In 2005, Calumet Township traded 12 acres of land for a new armory in exchange for the arena, and reverted the name to Calumet Colosseum. In 2019, Calumet was the winner of Kraft Hockeyville USA, winning $150,000 for upgrades to the Colosseum. The arena received a new ice plant, a new heating system, sound system, and refurbished locker rooms. As part of winning the contest, the arena held an NHL pre-season game between the Detroit Red Wings and the St. Louis Blues on September 26, 2019. The Red Wings won the game, 4–1.

Joseph Campau Historic District

The Joseph Campau Historic District is a commercial historic district located along Joseph Campau Street in Hamtramck, Michigan. The district runs from roughly Holbrook and Lehman Streets on the south to Pulaski and Casmere Streets on the north. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012. History The township of Hamtramck was established in 1798; in 1901 a portion of the township centered around Joseph Campau Street was incorporated as a village. In 1910, Hamtramck was home to 3500 people, and Dodge decided to build a new automotive plant, Dodge Main, at the southeast corner of the village. The plant was completed in 1914 and workers flooded into the area, many of them Polish. By 1920, the population of Hamtramck had boomed to 48,000, an increase of over 13 times in ten years. The increase in population meant an increase in housing and commercial space, and in 1922 Hamtramck incorporated as a city. Most of the stores along the main shopping street, Joseph Campau, opened in the 1920s. The surrounding neighborhoods were densely packed single-family homes, and this section of street quickly became the second busiest shopping district in southeast Michigan, after only downtown Detroit. Description The district contains 131 structures built along Joseph Campau Street, of which 80 contribute to the district's historic designation. According to the Michigan State Housing Development Authority: Joseph Campau Street is a unique collection of buildings in southeast Michigan reflecting early 20th century commercial architecture. It is entirely adjacent to a dense neighborhood of single-family homes having a strong, cultural community focus. This connection makes the district still viable today and it retains an atmosphere of a small town main street. See also Joseph Campau, namesake for the street and district References
